What happens during a solar eclipse? A solar eclipse happens when the moon moves in front of the Sun as seen from a location on Earth. During a solar eclipse, it gets dimer and dimmer outside as more and more of the Sun is covered by the Moon. During a total eclipse, the entire Sun is covered for a few minutes and it becomes very dark outside. The temperature outside also drops.
During a total lunar eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon form a line in space. Earthâs shadow falls on the face of the moon. An entire hemisphere of Earth can see the eclipse, that is, the whole side of Earth on which itâs nighttime when the eclipse takes place. No special equipment needed.
